A Star Is Not a Star, Right?

You need more than just gravity to make really compact stuff. In another way you can think about it is as you just describe goopiness. Like, imagine stuff out there in the cloud banging ether and sticking together. It's got to somehow lose some of that energy so it falls together. But that only works if you can bump into stuff, or if you can radiate away energy. And that s using electromagnetic forces. Riti nead some kind o like, i guess stickiness is kind of way. I think what you're saying like, it has to somehow have a little bit like a molasses to it, so that it groups together in the middle.
